Quick report
Very mixed conditions depending on aspect and sun exposure. Fairly cohesive slab with deep rain crusts - difficult to trigger but would be large. Rocks near the upper elevation on the SW aspect had thin snow coverage due to wind affect with typical cornice on the NE side of summit ridge. South aspects had variable and inconsistent surface crusts in the morning with soft, heavier snow in the afternoon. None observed
